The corporation Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig makers. The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and various types of tools for both external and in-house use. What's more, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become amongst the largest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among different other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods during that particular time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a range of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of even bigger and more spectacular machines.
There are several particular benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all over the globe. These global clients have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
